	DVD Review - Octopussy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Full of the stunts and spectacle we’ve come to expect from a James Bond film, "Octopussy" also benefits from strong performances by the ensemble cast who are obviously having a lot of fun filming the movie.
		"Octopussy" is presented in an anamorphic widescreen version framed at its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
		While not particularly original in their presentation, they are a nice addition to the extras and do provide a detailed look at the planning that goes into these major stunt sequences.

	Octopussy (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Kamal Khan is in turn smuggling them into the west with help from the mysterious Octopussy, a fabulously wealthy woman who lives in a floating palace in India, surrounded by women who are members of her "Octopus" cult, each recognized by a tattooed blue-ringed octopus on their bottom.
		Octopussy is more than a smuggler, however, and has many legitimate businesses, including shipping, hotels, carnivals and circuses - the latter being used as an ideal front for smuggling jewellery.
		Bond is led to Octopussy and confronts her, only to find out that she feels indebted to him for letting her father, a British Major, commit suicide rather than face the shame of a court martial When Bond was sent after him for smuggling and murder some years before.

	Octopussy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, Octopussy and her cult members arrive, along with Q and Bond in a hot air balloon with a huge Union Jack displayed on it.
		Octopussy's full name is unrevealed and according to Maud Adams, she is supposedly half Indian.
		Octopussy is also the name of a non-alcoholic cocktail.

	Octopussy: Special Edition (1983)
		Connecting the three men is a mysterious female smuggler known as "Octopussy," who must choose her allies by either helping Bond or killing him.
		Some of the is the fault of the plot, as Octopussy often has little to do and she ultimately gets stuck in the traditional Bond girl role as rescuee, but Adam's acting appeared bland at best.
		Most of the Bond commentaries use statements from a variety of sources, which are then edited together into a coherent whole; only a few follow the "screen specific" format in which one or more participants watch the film and express their thoughts in "real time".

	Octopussy Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Moore, however, is pitch-perfect in Octopussy, conveying both deadly intent and detached bemusement with a single raised eyebrow.
		Khan presides over a massive smuggling and counterfeiting empire along with his partner, the noble-hearted femme fatale Octopussy (a stiff but becoming Maud Adams), who heads up her own band of stunningly beautiful art thieves and acrobats.
		Octopussy the film is packed with exciting action sequences, including: a pre-credit sequence featuring a miniaturized jet plane; a nighttime brawl involving a yo-yo chainsaw; a jungle tiger hunt with human quarry; and a dizzying airborne sequence where Bond hangs clings to a prop-driven private plane as it does loops and barrel rolls.

	JB13 Octopussy
		Bond and Octopussy share a passionate attraction, but soon 007 discovers that the elegant Kamal Khan is working with a mad Russian officer to hurl mankind into World War III.
		Octopussy is a mixed bag, to say the least, and upon my first viewing of the film in 1983, my immediate reaction was that it had just displaced Moonraker as the worst Bond flick of all time.
		After subsequent viewings, I eventually decided that the movie isn't as bad as all that, but without a doubt, there are low points aplenty, and the level to which they descend is abysmal indeed.

	OCTOPUSSY - SPECIAL EDITION DVD
		Octopussy, featuring Moore's penultimate (which, for the last time, folks, means second-to-last, not really ultimate) portrayal of the beloved secret agent, is a minor entry in the canon populated by stellar moments.
		Towards Octopussy's climax (no sexual pun intended), there is a rare incident of self-reflection on the part of the filmmakers in which a group of randy teenagers agree to give a lift to hitch-hiking Bond, only to leave him in the dust when he eagerly approaches their car.
		Octopussy is letterboxed at 2.35:1 and enhanced for 16x9 televisions.

	DVD Verdict Review - Octopussy
		Having nosed about during his stay with Octopussy, Bond suspects that Kamal and his Soviet patron, General Orlov, have something particularly nasty in store for the West, and finds his worst suspicions confirmed: a nuclear bomb will be smuggled into a NATO base in West Germany during an Octopussy Circus show and detonated.
		The race is on, and the tension comes as thick and furious as the impressive action sequences, aboard Octopussy's train, on the roadways, and at the circus performance itself.
		Octopussy's army of gorgeous women is also quite a worthy addition to the film, and a credit to those responsible for casting!

	Filmtracks: Octopussy (John Barry)
		Octopussy: (John Barry) In the late 1970's and early-1980's, John Barry's affiliation with the James Bond series hit its second roadblock.
		The Octopussy score had always been elusive on CD for a number of years, until Rykodisc began releasing the 80's Bond scores in the late 1990's.
		Nevertheless, Barry's music for Octopussy is among the better Bond scores --at the same level, if not better, than A View to a Kill.

		Octopussy has had many criticisms leveled at it since it slipped into cinema's in 1983.
		Octopussy, although not as serious as F.Y.E.O., is filled with everything that makes James Bond movies so much fun: action, exotic locations, beautiful women and that all too familiar Moore's comic touch, which is not overdone.
		Octopussy is without doubt one of Roger Moore's best Bond movies and I highly recommend it to any Bond fan or Action-movie fan out there..

	Octopussy DVD movie review - TimeForDVD.com
		"Octopussy" is the thirteenth among the current nineteen Bond adventures (as of October 2000), all of which are now available in the DVD-Video format.

		But OCTOPUSSY is the best of all them all; it's also my favorite movie.
		Roger Moore is in top form, John Glen's direction is excellent, the plot is complex and rich, and John Barry's music is wonderful.
		OCTOPUSSY is skillfully made and astonishingly thrilling from its breathtaking precredits sequence to the very end.

	OCTOPUSSY (2001 Special Edition)
		A key element of the villains' plot is the duping of the exotically-named Octopussy (Maud Adams, in her second Bond film), a beautiful, mysterious woman who runs the smuggling ring in association with Kamal.
		Her traveling circus, which plays to audiences on both sides of the Iron Curtain, is the perfect means by which to move contraband across Cold War frontiers.
		Inside Octopussy, about the making of the film, is a compilation of interviews with all the major cast and crew (sans Jourdan).

		Roger Moore's sixth Bond movie is a step down from the grittier tone For Your Eyes Only in it's tongue and cheek approach.Going to India, Bond uncovers a smuggling operation involving Fabrage Eggs, a dead 00 agent, and a circus front operated by the title character (Maud Adams).
		The film does use elements from the short stories "Octopussy" and "The Property of a Lady" by Ian Fleming as a jumping board.
		Very good Moore best by far the ones before Octopussy Moore was too young and the one after he was WAY TOO OLD great plot great actors great bond girl MUAD ADAMS probally the best bond girl and many exotic locations like India and Germany.

		The OCTOPUSSY soundtrack seems a bit truncated but it is still a good John Barry - James Bond CD.
		"That's My Little Octopussy" and "Bond Meets Octopussy" are very beautiful love pieces based on the main title: "All Time High" that are reminiscent to the true nature of "We Have All the Time In the World" from ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE.
		The character of Octopussy, played against formula, in this film seems like a genuine love interest of James Bond as is reflected in these pieces.

		If, like me, you love to watch the girls sort out the men, then you will enjoy the fight scene at the end as Octopussy's (Maud Adams)army of lovely ladies take on Jourdan's army of thugs and rout them.
		In an energetic display of punching, kicking and acrobatics, the men are soundly defeated by the women and at last there is something in the film to excite.
		It draws parallels with On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which was rescued only by the fabulous Diana Rigg.

		Where he got the egg, and what it means, are mysteries for the moment, but the Brits quickly assure themselves that the Russians are involved, and call in 007 to get to the bottom of things.
		But then we have Octopussy’s lackey, Kamal Kahn, presumed jewel smuggler and confidant to Orlov, who may or may not be in the world-domination game himself.
		The chase scenes through the streets and jungles of India are most entertaining, as are the film’s many terrific fight sequences, two particularly excellent moments occurring atop a moving train and plane respectively.

	Octopussy - John Barry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Since Octopussy would be hard to make rhyme and scan during a song, Barry and lyricist Tim Rice settled on All Time High which is third in an informal trio of ego boosting ballads that began with Nobody Does it Better from The Spy Who Loved Me and continued with For Your Eyes Only.
		One nice touch is a minor key version used for Death of Vijay, a moment of genuine emotion and regret that is rare in a Bond film.
		Perhaps the only disappointment of releasing Octopussy is that its relative newness already ensures good sound quality; almost all of Barry's earlier efforts deserve the same deluxe re-release treatment to improve the sound.

	Octopussy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Maud Adams--who'd also been in the Bond outing The Man with the Golden Gun--plays the improbably named Octopussy, while old smoothie Louis Jourdan is her crafty partner in crime.
		The film even has an extra emotional punch, since this time out 007 is not only following the orders of Her Majesty's Secret Service, but he is also exacting a personal revenge: a fellow double-0 agent has been killed.
		The success of both pictures proved that there was still plenty of mileage left in the old license to kill, though Moore had one more workout--A View to a Kill--before hanging it up.

		Now Rykodisc and MGM have rereleased Octopussy for the general public at a bargain price of $16.99.
		The title song, "All Time High" is here sung by the as usual great Rita Coolidge, but the best tracks are the ones that introduce and expand upon the love theme.
		Barry uses "All Time High" in a very moving piece called "That's My Little Octopussy" as well as in "Bond Meets Octopussy." There is a credible chase and action theme as well, using Barry's trademark string and drum cues.
